FLORHAM PARK -- It's June 4. NFL organized team activities are voluntary workouts. Receiver Eric Decker wasn't there on Wednesday for the Jets' fifth session of OTAs. He tweeted his explanation, which you can see above.

Decker's wife is country music star Jessie James. The CMT music awards are Wednesday night in Nashville, and they'll be broadcast live on something called CMT. It looks like Decker and James will be presenting something together.

There is absolutely no reason for any of this a concern, or a controversy, or anything more than a thing that happened on Wednesday at Jets OTAs. That Decker is new to the team after having signed a contract that maxes out to five years and $36 million is completely irrelevant.

Head coach Rex Ryan just wanted to make that clear.

"Well, speaking as a married guy," Ryan said, "absolutely recommended that you would go to that, OK? You ask for their support, you need to support them, too."

This is a familiar topic for Ryan, who went to see his son, Seth, play his first college football game last year at Clemson on the same weekend the Jets had to make their final preseason roster cuts. Ryan took heat for doing that, for some dumb reason, but he has since said he'd do it again if given the chance.

So, no, Decker doing something relevant to his wife's career on the same day as a voluntary workout three months before the start of the season is not something that bothers Ryan.

"This is really voluntary camps, there's no doubt about it," Ryan said. "Things like this pop up. It's the time of year to do it; it's not like it happened during the season. Certainly, we support Eric and things, and he's being treated no different than any other teammate, regardless of how much they're making."
